Our first outing in our new neighborhood was a town-wide sale, and the day did not disappoint!

The first N64 bundle was our first find of the day. They were asking $15, but we talked them down to $5. We didn't have a boxed Majora's Mask, so it was a nice pick-up. They also had dog who kept bringing a stick over in his mouth, wanting us to play fetch with him. He was so cute!

Everything else we picked up required little haggling, as everything was already priced low - a big change from what we're used to. People seemed friendlier, too. We're hoping that's a good sign for the future.

We got the XBox demos at a sale that had everything on a flatbed truck. The Legend of Dragoon promo was 50 cents, but everything else was found in a big box marked "FREE". We scooped up all the demos and some miscellaneous movies.

We attempted to CIF $1 for the Dragon Ball manga and FF8. The girl said she wanted $1 for FF8, and $3 for the manga. We were surprised she was only asking $1 for the sealed FF8. We expected at least $10. Anyway, we countered with $2 for everything and she accepted.

Fantasy novels are rarely found on our adventures; it's usually the same Crichton, Grishman, and King books at every sale. One particular sale had a few boxes of assorted books, and a good amount of fantasy. Asking prices were also good: 25 cents per book, 5/$1. We started to pick a few out, then decided why not buy the whole box. We CIF'd $2 to the seller, who thought about it for a few moments, and then said "sure". It was really fun to buy a whole box of books!

At one sale there was a young guy (20-something) squatting down looking through CDs. He must've been wearing loose pants and no underwear: he was showing half his ass down the driveway! Not something anyone would want to find at a yardsale.

It was an all-around fun day, and people were in good spirits and easy-going when it came to bargaining. We hit a surprisingly high number of sales, and got to the know the area a lot better. We're really excited for this season!
